Flavor by Fire: Recipes and Techniques for Bigger, Bolder BBQ and Grilling

In Flavor by Fire, join live fire cooking expert Derek Wolf for the most interesting, flavor-packed recipes you’ll cook this year.

In Derek Wolf’s first book, Food by Fire, he shared the how-to behind starting and cooking with various types of cooking fires, as well as skillets, skewers, and more. Now he’s ready to take you on another culinary adventure—but this time it’s all about flavor. From instant classics like Chipotle Peppercorn Smoked Brisket to envelope-pushing Chile Con Limon Candied Bacon, the recipes offer lots of variety. All the major tastes—salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami—are explored in depth. Derek also leads an investigation of other components you should consider when it comes to flavor, such as aroma, heat, and texture. Each chapter explores a specific protein’s taste and flavor considerations and then tours through impressive recipes including:
